A special division bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday set a deadline of November 30, 2025, for the Tamil Nadu government to implement the liquor bottle buyback scheme across the state.
"The scheme shall completely be implemented in all shops in all districts by November 30, 2025," ordered the bench of justices N Sathish Kumar and D Bharatha Chakravarthy while hearing a batch of petitions.
The bench also asked the managing director of the Tamil Nadu State Trading Corporation (Tasmac) to hold a meeting with the manufacturers of liquor for taking back the bottles as mandated by Rule 17 of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, as amended in 2020.
